<p>[QUOTE="Debora, post: 9595500, member: 1476"]Agree. I don't think "just unbutton it and climb in" is the instructions the sales clerk would give in the ladies' dressing room. So, to get your started, here are a few key words: sleeveless, slit neckline darted bodice with round plastic buttons decorated with diamantés and button loop closures, accordion pleated mini skirt with lettuce hem, no zipper, unlined. (Not including belt as no photograph available.) Color appears to be champagne. Given era, fabric is likely to be polyester. It wasn't an expensive thing in its time. I'd call it a cocktail dress. And no pride of ownership here. Others, please step in to improve/correct as needed.</p><p><br /></p><p>Debora[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
